New Year’s Resolutions for 2017: An Invitation to Healthy Aging

January 18, 18:30

External Registration

We are starting the year with a celebration - Health 2.0 Berlin is 5! And we are celebrating with a meetup:
In the time of constant (exponential) movement, nothing is so exciting as to staying healthy as we age. Still, despite real progress in medicine helping us to live healthier and longer than ever, there is no magic bullet in sight that could turn years back or even stop aging.
If we conquer illness, can we also look at aging as such? What if we rethink our current understanding of aging by beginning at the cellular level and reorganizing our body’s ability to regenerate? How artificial intelligence and robotics are having a transformative impact on a process of aging? And what are the ways to disrupt longevity? There are still plenty of unanswered questions and so much to do!
Health 2.0 Berlin is partnering with SingularityU Germany (http://www.singularityugermanysummit.org) for the next meetup and we would like to invite you to an exciting journey in the world of “healthy aging” together with our international leading experts from medicine, life sciences, entrepreneurship and IT technologies.
